No, not running any of those programs. I have extensively swapped data with this card numerous times.

I checked all setting in android prior to putting into puter. In therory, android should NOT write protect the disk, but something did. I have read this happening to others just in XDA forums alone.

Just got disk back to the "good" state using MiniTool Power Data Recovery... Let's take a peek as to see if it works correctly now.

57min into it and only scanned 11mb????? This may be a month to scan 16g. If my math is correct. That's 1gig (1000mb) / 11per hour = 90.90hrs to complete 1g of scanning, multiplied by 15 (usable gigs) = 1363.6363hrs or 51.81 days? 51 days to complete scan?!?!?!?! Gonna look for another program.

If you want to partition or format your SD you HAVE to be in Windows Mobile.

Also, if you are repartitioning your SD, I recommend you recreate your data.img or else it will have issues.

Yes, Android still boots.... Something in there is locking card. If card was bad, Android would obviously not be booting.

Please Do Not ask if switch on adapted is locked, I have two adapters, both UNLOCKED... For some reason, my "Spidey Senses" are telling me that I am about to be asked that question. Being asked this will only cause me to "sigh" loudly before i bang my head on desk. Which will still leave me with locked card and now a fresh migrane.

Hi

I have i9000m using in Canada with fido. I generally have a bad reception with darkys 9.4 version.

My wifes iphone always has a better reception at the same location. My phone has no bars and gets also lose.the R once a while (changes to a x)

Anyway i can fix it? Please help.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] asgard:
I also had bad data reception with 9.4 - just updated to 9.5 its using a different modem (JVE) ... seems ok now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Devhux:
You'll need a modern that supports the 850MHz band. Not sure if the JVE modem does but most of the ones bundled with Darky's roms don't.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GOTFrogqc:
Just get the JL2 CWM modem thats what I use and never had any reception issues, after doing the modem next update from darky in the app you select nothing for modem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] indianx:
so the modem must be installed seperate. i choose once jpy and the second time eclair modem with the darky configuration app.

so i download this modem and install only the modem with odin nothing else?

never done it before.:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xXNCHAMPXx:
Why don't you just update to v9.5? Its stable and has alot of bugfixes from v9.4.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] indianx:
Ok will do. Can apply the modem separately? Or do i have to apply the image jl2.image and then 9.5 darky?

The other think i dont know.how to update from 9.4 to 9.5 darky rom. Do i have to go first to stock and then to darky?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pizzachips:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...9-x-to-9-5-in-10-steps.1813/page-2#post-20610

Use this to install 9.5

Download odin

Restart your phone into download mode - you can just power off and click download mode for darky's rom

After doing so, hook it up to your computer and open Odin

Under "Phone" field - select the ugjl2.zip listed above - that's the modem file used by Bell

Click "Start" in Odin

The update should be really fast. After doing so, it should restart your phone and you should be using the correct modem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thearc77:
For 850 band i use znkp1. 8 to 10 second gps lock, 5 to 15 meters accuracy, excelent signal (Argentina).

Can post link because i don't write too much here
[Galaxy S I9000 General] indianx:
thanks a lot guys for your help.

awesome i have reception again :D

i had to install the stock first, root and then install darky 9.5. it did not let me install darky 9.5. I have disabled lagfix and it was showing me next reboot it will be disabled but it still was enabled. No matter how many times i set it disabled it would not disable the lagfixes. Any suggestion for further upgrade might be helpfull and make the upgrade lot easier instead of installing to stock and then to darky.:cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pizzachips:
You shouldn't need to go back to stock

You should be able to disable lagfix via recovery mode and then upgrade the rom afterwards.

Try disabling and enabling your lagfix with 9.5 to see if the issue persists still.

Might be an issue with your clockwork recovery not working properly somehow...

Post on the darky forum instead of XDA for more help.

Just speculating for fun, what do you think the 3rd Nexus will be like? HTC, Samsung...LG? Dual-Core/4.3"/3D? What specs can you envision. The first from HTC was innovative, the current from Samsung brings NFC, what will the 3rd one have? Discuss..
[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
Got a strong feeling it will be a clone of a future phone that we have not seen yet, but it will probably the best of class out of the Tegra 2 Dual Core phones.

JD
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
Dual-Core for sure.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
quad-core is already in existence... theyre coming :)
[Nexus S General] instigator008:
LG or Moto or even Sony Ericsson next, I imagine.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
True true. It could be the flagship device for Quad-Core and just skip dual cores.
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
I like Samsung and LG looks promising, I don't think it will be HTC or MOTO since they are both trying to lock everything down right now.

I envision: quad core, 3D, 4.0" screen (I hope), 4G. Hopefully everything else that we have now plus better battery.
[Nexus S General] Raver27:
A dual core,possibly HTC again,tho there's really no telling, certainly won't run on T-Mobiles network ..(at&t u suck) k sorry back on topic...

I think sprint will get it before anyone else.....I'm thinking Sprint is gonna be Google's new go to guy,especially if and when at&t has its way with T-Mobile .....
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
it could be like the G2x with multi-bands... Sprint disabled tethering on Nexus S, so I doubt it.

AGAIN. stop over exaggerating the T-Mo/AT&T, it can be disapproved and AT&T will have to pay T-Mobile for the 'breakup fee' which will be HUGE for t-mobile.
[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
Right. And I still think T-mobile will get it first. Google is VERY big on sim unlock phones, because most of the world use GSM technology and not CDMA! Its easier to start with a sim unlock phone first because it can reach more ground that way!
[Nexus S General] peacekeeper05:
It will either be samsung or LG definitely not motorola since they have been locking bootloaders and nexus phones should be the most hacker friendly android device. It will be dual core or a 3d capable device. G2x, evo 3d, htc pyramid, lg thrill, or galaxy s2 :) but htc too is getting stricter and google might not want that.
[Nexus S General] zephiK:
XOOM has a unlocked bootloader. It doesnt even matter what manufacturer its from because Google will ask for it to be bootloader unlock/locked (fastboot oem unlock/lock), I'm sure if Google approached them they would have the honor to do it and just not make it bootloader locked etc. So it doesn't matter what the company's policy is.
[Nexus S General] mmegalodon:
If its a Google Experience phone it'd be open. And I wouldn't be so quick to say HTC is locking down phones, or trying to, when we've seen two recent cases.

On topic I hope its a solid dual core (quad! O_O) 4 - 4.5 display SLCD and the obvious goodies inside. And hopefully Sprint as I take this Nexus S and GVoice integration to mean Google and Sprint pairing up.

[Nexus S General] JupiterDroid:
I thought that too at first, then I was thinking that the G2x is already pretty much vanilla-ish android already, I think a google product would not be diverse enough when compared, and I can't also see a phone rebranded by three different firms. It would be nice though;)

I think that simms is right, by the time Google decide on a new phone we will be in quad core territory.

Google seems to be showcasing with the Nexus line. "Here's how it should be done."

With the Nexus One Google showed the world how a (non-Apple) smartphone should be. At that time, other smartphones were about as exciting as a 70's Volvo.

The Nexus S showed the US that there is a world beyond carrier lock-in. Unlocked, crapware-free, no contract necessary.

The next Nexus could well be a tablet. "See? Here's how to make a proper tablet!"

I've had this exact problem since USCC released their Froyo update that went out as S-On and Hboot 1.06. I've had zero luck. CM 1.6 is running stable but with stock recovery and uncracked bootloader there hasn't been anyway to load the custom rom.

Swyped using USCC Mesmerize
[Desire General] fish2222:
Right now there is no way to root with hboot 1.06, unless you had it previously rooted in 2.1 and got S-Off. Since you got it with 2.2, you won't be able to until they find another exploit for it. I use visionary+ to get temp root, but that's all you can do right now.
[Desire General] cpfeifer:
I had it rooted before but I didn't go through the s-off ordeal. Is it possible to go back? I mean I'd probably have to find a stock 2.1 RUU.

Thanks QBKing. I just watched two of your videos re the DF02 and the Syndicate Frozen ROM. I have CWM 2.5.1Rooted wth the leaked Froyo DK28.

I am leaning towards holding off on Gingerbread for nowand going with Syndicate Frozen EC05 based for stability.

I was told that I need to use ODIN b/c of DK28. Is that true? Can I just follow the Syndicate Video and also can I bypass the CWM 3.0 part since I already have CWM 2.5.1?

Thanks. Happy Independence Day!
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
If you're on DK28, I'm not sure how well flashing this rom will go.... might be fine, you can try it. Just root with one click root 3.1.0.1, wipe everything 3X and flash the rom. If it doesn't work, odin to EC05 and then do the same method.

[Epic 4G General] mouseglider:
Qbking77,

Three questions for you;

1) I noticed in some of your videos that when you do a shutdown, you show a reboot option, what program is that and how did you intergrate that in your shut down menu?

2) I am on a rooted stock ec05 rom with genecide v2.0 and cwm3.1.0.1 - if I make a nandroid and then flash a new rom say SFR 1.2 and if either I don't like it or it is not compatible with my phone can I simply restore my nandroid that I made prior to flashing for a 100% restore like it was before the flash?

3) When I flash a new rom, will I loss my current settings, and apps, home screens, etc. where I have to reinstall and setup my apps again, or does it simply install the custom rom and and everything stays the same - by that I mean is the flashing of the rom a behind the scene thing and all my programs and system settings and the way the phone looks remains the same?

Thanks

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
1. That is an option that is cooked into different roms that you run.

2. Yes when restoring nandroids, it returns your phone exactly how it was when it makes a backup.

3. Usually when going from a different to another one, its recommended to wipe data 3X which will erase all apps and stuff. Apps can be baked up using titanium backup, which is what I do. You can try flashing without wiping, but if it doesn't work properly..... then you'll need to wipe data. Looks will be different, the theme of the rom will take over.
[Epic 4G General] mouseglider:
Thanks for the quick reply - your answer to #3 really helps - Thanks!

Edit: one more questions;

I use MyBackup Pro which I hear is similiar to Titanium - do you restore the apps only and not the apps data, so the settings for each app has to be reset? That is if I understand what the data part means?
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Yes it is better to not restore the apps data. This can cause data corruption and make you have to re wipe and reflash the rom. Just choose restore apps only :)
[Epic 4G General] mouseglider:
So if I go to a gb rom whether it be a leaked or official version, can I restore the apps from my froyo rom (no data) from my backup also?

Or because it is a different OS version I should redownload apps from market place if I am comming from froyo to gb and it's ok to restore from backup if I go from froyo to froyo?
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Yes you can, just make sure you don't restore any system apps such as messaging etc.
[Epic 4G General] mouseglider:
Thank you very much for your fast answers. I don't see how one can donate - there is no link?
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:

[Epic 4G General] JeffATL:
Whenever I touch one of my normal non-launcer pro widgets, or try to move them, the widget gets highlighted and freezes - then I hit the back arrow and I get the popup to upgrade to paid version Launcher Pro. It happens quite often. Very annoying. I don't think I have need for the paid version as I already have another paid app that provides widgets I use.

Is there a way to eliminate these popups other than upgrading?

Update: I replaced Launcher Pro with Go Launcher EX. So far it seems like an amazing launcher and includes all the bells and whistles in the free version!
